Artist Statement - I try not to bind myself to any particular style or genre. I find myself in a fluid experimentation of mediums. Exposures to color, texture, line and tone push my pieces creatively. I want to create excitement, motion and energy through a randomness of my color palette use. I also tend to use what is on hand to help find new ways to create something interesting and conceptually unique.
